"During questioning by Congress, Attorney General Pam Bondi used shouting as a technique to deflect difficult questions about President Donald Trump and the Epstein Files, citing the current strong stock market as an example of Trump's success. But Trump cannot be let off the hook for possible crimes just because he is perceived as doing some things right. Even a criminal as notorious as mob boss Al Capone appears to have been a family man who supported projects in his community. Such benevolence, though admirable, didn't erase the need for accountability when he committed tax evasion and murder."
"County supervisors are proposing to increase the county sales tax from the current 8.75% to raise $150 million a year. I served on the county grand jury 10 years ago that submitted a report ( No. 1503) showing how the county could save nearly $100 million a year through negotiating a modest reform of unearned pension benefits. The board never took any action on the recommendation, apparently shying away from any action that would raise union opposition. Why should voters be asked to pay for another tax increase when the board has not taken action on a pension reform that could result in major cost savings?"
Attorney General Pam Bondi shouted during congressional questioning to deflect queries about President Donald Trump and the Epstein Files, citing the strong stock market as evidence of Trump's success. Economic or electoral successes do not excuse potential criminal allegations; investigations must address suspicions of sexual abuse and ensure victims are heard. County supervisors proposed raising the sales tax from 8.75% to generate $150 million annually while a grand jury report showed nearly $100 million could be saved annually through modest pension reforms that the board did not pursue. Moraga should raise the Pride flag in June to signal safety and support for the LGBTQ+ community.
